Los Angeles Enterprising Real Estate
Dealers Seeking Lands in this Section.
The following letter from the agent of
the Central and Northern California Immi-
grafton Association, located at Los Angeles,
to the headquarters in this city, indicates
the manner in which the enterprising real
estate dealers of that place are turning
their attention to this part of the State, and
their operations here will soon be found
TO be numerous and spirited:
Los ANGELES, CAL, June s, 1887.
GENTLEMEN: A member of real estate
firm here last evening asked me to find out
through you whether or not somewhere
from 10000 to 10000 acres of good land in
a body, near the foothills, adjacent to Sac
ramento, where the water from the canal
that is being brought down from the Sierras,
can be put upon it, can be had at reason
able prices, and, II so, at what price per
acre The object is to subdivide il and
sell 1t out in small farms and have a town
site on the place. Please give me any and
all information you can on the subject al
your earliest convenience.
So you see no matter how much the
newspapers here attempt to ridicule and
misrepresent Central and Northern Califor-
MIA, the shrewd business men know it will
not be long before those fine sections will
become better known and as soon as they
do, they as well as all of us who are well
acquainted with the great advantages of
those sections, know that it will be utterly
impossible 10 restrain the immense flow of
immigration into California to three or five
counties in Southern California Conse-
quently some of them at least are preparing
to take advantage of the present low prices
of land about Sacramento and "get in" for
the rise in values.
All that is wanted is to "let the world
know" what we have and they will come
and occupy the land" When speak
ing of Sacramento, Stockton, Lodi, Gals
Vacaville, Chico, oroville, Auburn, Wood
land, Colusa, Red Bluff, Redding and
many other places in Central and Northern
California, and their great advantages, and
the country surrounding them, in having
the best of soil, abundance of water for all
purposes-one of the most essential and
necessary things in California-the finest of
climate, unequaled markets and transport
alton facilities, and plentiful and cheap
timber and lumber for fencing. building
and fuel, you would be surprised to know
how often | have been asked, Where are
these places, and these fine sections of
country, with all these great advantages?
III tA4Oy iSuA LIS %1bSSASoi vi are luel
near Pasadena? or, l suppose, they must be
near San Diego" Showing how persist
emily the people of these counties have
used printers ink, and how effectively it
has done its work among the most intelli-
gent classes of people east of the Rockies.
The facts are that very large numbers of
intelligent, well-to do people, and also peo-
pie of large means, come here who know
nothing of California outside of a few of
the well advertised localities in Southern
California. To show how industriously
and persistently these people advertise, /
will cite one instance The Coronado Beach
Company, on the peninsula across the bay
from San Diego, put 5000 of their adver-
tisements per month inside the time tables
of the Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe
Railroad, and they are distributed at every
place in the known world where those
time tables are found. As a consequence,
wherever or whenever any person takes
one of those time tables, when he or she
opens it the first thing they see is = Coro-
nado Beach staring them in the face.
The result has been that the company have
sold over 100000 worth of lots out of
what they paid little over 100000 for,
and have considerable left.
l hope our people will see the necessity
of all pulling together" and letting the
world know where we live, and something
at least of the present prosperous condition
and future possibilities of Central and
Northern California. E. W. GIDDINGs.
